A Seated Prophet Reading<>.

Pen and brown ink over black chalk on cream laid paper, circa 1480. 150x105 mm; 6x4 1/8 inches. Ex-collection Freiherr von Heyl zu Herrnsheim (Lugt 2879, verso) and Prince Johann Georg von Sachsen (Lugt supplement 1162c, verso).

The solid, block-like conception of the figure seen from the front shares a similarity with the prophets represented in the stained glass windows of the choir in the Duomo at Milan.
